Uniform
All cadets are issued with a uniform similar to that worn by the RAF, with the standard uniform consisting of a dark blue shirt and brassard, grey trousers (male cadets) or skirt/slacks (female cadets), blue-grey jumper (when required) and a dark blue beret. Black shoes are provided by the cadet.
Cadets are also issued with a light blue shirt and tie for formal occasions, and are usually either issued with or privately acquire a DPM (camouflage) uniform. Cadets may wear other specialist uniforms, such as flight suits, when required.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“We know, Mr. Weller—we, who are men of the world—that a good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Thus for each blunt-faced ignorant one
The great grey rigid uniform combined
Safety with virtue of the sun.
Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
